I swear I need to clean up and organize my bench, but I never do. I’ve had to buy all sorts of springs, detents, and other random screws and small parts because I drop them and lose them.
Today, I was putting a scope back on a rifle with Warne Maxima scope rings. I put one ring on the scope and get the screws started. Just as I start the other ring, I hear something land somewhere and I just knee it was that cross slot lug. I proceed to tear apart my bench looking for this thing. I get so irritated with myself and the situation that I have to walk outside.
I stand there and the fresh air does nothing to calm me down. So, I do what any reasonable man would do. I throw a mini cussing tantrum and kick some imaginary version of my own ass. That’s when I saw something small and silver fly off my foot and into the blackberry bushes.
I think that lug was riding on top of my shoe this whole time. Looks like I’m off to buy a new set of rings.
